NO HUSBAND.
A Strange Tale Told to the Secre-
tarY of the V. NJ. c. A.

General Secretary Elliot, of the Y. NJ.
G. A., meets with not few strange
phases of life in the course of his work.
The other day neatly dressed young
fellow came to the central reading room
and wrote letter. AS he was passing
out the secretary, noticing that he was
a stranger, asked him if he found moth
ing to read. The young man heSitated
moment, then said he was in grave
trouble and wanted to talk it over. Re
firing to the Secretary'S private Office
the following story was revealed: The
young man had spent the past two years
in Nebraska working at.his trade, type
setting. Having made bad associates
he determined to turn over a new leaf,
and came to this city last week an entire
stranger. Previous to his residence in
Nebraska he had lived for a time in Chi
cagO, where he had met a charming
young lady at the house of. a mutual
friend, and had called on her few
times, finding in her a pleasant COM
paniOn and a lady of irreproachable de-
pertinent. Almost before their acquaint-
the young man left the city
and had lost all track of his attractive
entertainer. During his first afternoon
in Minneapolis, whom should he meet
but the fair charmer. The recognition
was mutual, and the WOman'S invitation
to accompany her home was accepted.
Arriving at her roOme Oh First avenue
south, the young man was somewhat
surprised by proposal of marriage
from his hoSteSS-a proposal which was
at once acceded to, and the next day
Justice Able tied the strange nuptial
knot. But connubal felicity did not
follow the gOOd-looking young squire's
blessing. They had scarcely returned
to their rooms, and before the fair bride
would receive any lover-like caresses,
when she stated things that were pract-
zeal. Hard luck had compelled her to
pawn her gold watch and ring to get
money to live OH, and her new husband
must secure them at once. He was not
that kind of a hubby, and positively re-
fused. The upshot of it was that she
declared she would never live with him,
and when he returned to the room, after
having gone out on an errand, it was to
find himself locked out EntreatieS and
orders were alike vain, and the young
man slept away from home. The next
day found madame still obdurate, so the
3ggrieved husband had come to the Y.
NJ. {. \. rooms to write Il last appeal to
his wife, whom he declared he loved to
distraction. Secretary Elliot was un-
able to offer consolation to the young
fellow, who is evidently the dupe of an
adventures.

NEW PATROLNIEN
To Take the Places of Those Re-
Gently Removed.

Gently Removed.
At the meeting of the police commits
sion yesterday afternoon, out of some
two hundred applications fourteen pa
trolmen were appointed, as follows:
William Dunn, $. j. Qucaly, John Court
ney, John Hannah. james f. Sullivan, Gus
tav A. SeitZ. Edward McNulty, Jacob Yost,
John McKcnna, John Byrnes, b. W. Bacon,
Patrick Fox, John f. Calm. Ambrose Ran
kins.
John ByFnes and Patrick Fox were
formerly members of the force, but
were removed by Mayor Ames last
spring. The balance are all new men.
Mr.. ByrneS was ordered detailed to his
Old post as municipal court officer, and
Charles II. Hill, the eX-colOnel of police,
who has been filling the position, will
probably be given beat in the suburbs
William Dunn was promoted to the po-
sftiOn of sergeant, and there the COM
mission rested, adjourning to meet
again Monday, when the appointments
TO fill seven vacancies on the force will
probably be made. Judging from the
personal appearance of yesterdays APP
pOinteeS they are men of intelligence,
who will fulfill the duties of their posi-
tons as well as the men recently re-
moved when they shall have been
on the force sufficiently long to acquire
the same experience. a special point
seems to have been made as to their
physical proportions, as nearly all of
them are SiX-footers. Thomas Kelly,
eX-Sergeant of the mounted patrol
Miller Mccormick and Patrick Smith
were applicants, but were reported upon
llnfaSorably by the police surgeon and
will not be appointed.

GATHERING INCONSISTENCIES
Some Questions Answered by Ask
ing Others.


The Evening Journal continues to
miSrepresent the attitude of the Demo-
cratic park commissioners in reference
to the matter of park police. In the
first place, it says the employment of a
superintendent and twelve park police
will cost $1,000. This is more than
double the amount of what the actual
cost would be.
Next, the law says that the park COM
mission shall appoint, control and pay
its own force" The law was passed by
Republican legislature, and ii Il Re
publican police commission says it will
not make detail TO be under the con-
troll of the park commission, are the
Democrats TO be blamed?
The people pay for the police; does it
matter, then, whether the police are ap-
pointed by the park commission OF de-
tailed by the police commission?
Another point-While President Lor-
ing stated that there was less than
$4,000 available for the parks this year
the financial statement shows that the
amount to be $4,000. The work of the
board will not be ''cut short" then, by
an expenditure of $1,000 or 1900 for the
protection of the parks.
If it is not desirable that there
should be park police distinct from the
city force, why did President Loring in
his annual report submitted March II
(when it was thought the Republicans
would have a majority in the. board) lay
such stress upon the gratifying fact that
recent enactment of the legislature
had given the park commission the right
to control and appoint its police force?
Finally, if it is best that the city
police force should protect the parks,
why is it that force of uniformed men
labeled park police" has been and is
now emplOVedp

The second day of the Hamline insti-

those present. At the morning session
Bishop Bowman said the board of bish-
ops had no authority to extend the time
of pastorates, as is generally supposed,
Bishop Andrews spoke of the growth of
the church in Kansas, and said prohibi-
ton is popular and effective in that
state. Bishop Foss discussed the con-
jition of the church in the South, and
said it needed the help of Northern men
and money. In the afternoon Rev. f.
=. Holman read a paper on The Best
Methods of City Evangelization, :"
which was followed by discus
Ion in which several gentlemen
participated. A second paper that eX-
cited quite as much interest was read

BENEFITED BY BURNING.
A Lesson in Agriculture Taught
at the Court House.

Before Judge Young yesterday was
tried the suit of Walter S. Mcleod
against Robert BlackwOod and c. w.
Goosman. The case was a somewhat
novel one and attracted considerable at
tention among the lawyers at the court
house. Mcleod alleged that on April
Is, 1886, while BlackWood and Goosnlan
were cut hunting, they set fire to
meadow belonging to him and burned
up all the grass thereon. The loss of the
grass amounted to about $15. but Nc
Le0d alleged that the fire destroyed the
roots, and that he will be unable to get
any hay from the land for several years.
He placed his damage. therefore, at $500.
The plaintiffs denied that they set any
meadow on fire, and declared that even
had they done so the land would have
been benefited instead of injured. The
jury was out but short time and re-
turned verdict for the defendants.
